The roses again...

It's quite late already, but I better post it now, since I might not have enough time tomorrow...

Do you remember the crocheted necklace with the roses? The one from this post? Well, it didn't look bad, but making it was a nightmare. I'd never make it again... but I knew that someone really liked it and wanted to have one for herself. It was hard to force myself to work with this pattern, I admit, but once I realized that I had only a few days left (it had to be done by August 17th - that's today!), I started working like crazy to make sure it would be finished on time. Still don't know how it has happened... but the necklace was completed within just three days. Yayyyy!! ;)

So, this is the necklace again... this time the roses aren't on a white background, but light beige instead. It is made entirely with Toho seed beads size 11.

I wanted the necklace to have an adjustable length, but adding a chain for that purpose didn't sound like a good idea to me. Not for such a thick rope at least. Below you can see how it has been solved. :)


This is the shortest version:

This one is slightly longer:

And this one a little bit longer than slightly longer ;)

And finally, the longest version.

During the last few days I have made two more gifts. One of them is another beaded crochet rope, simple but elegant for Julia, along with a matching bracelet.

The second gift is a small, simple pendant for Helene. She probably doesn't expect any gift, so hopefully it will be a nice surprise for her. :)

And in just a few hours all the gifts will be in a plane flying to Sweden...
I will stay with you though, because soon I'll have more beadwork to show. :)

Good night! :)

  1. I can not even think of the words to describe this. I swear you should have a store and be a world known designer. there is nothing more exquisite than a rose pattern. I can not believe this is made my human hands. I am in awe, speechless, but then again I should know by now you never give yourself enough credit that you deserve. you should be in books with many publications. Someone should discover your talent and put it to helpful and adequate use. You are one in a million and this is Completely and TOTALLY one of a kind. I pray the people receiving it will appreciate the time and effort that went into creating such a master of artistry. You are a genius in your own realm Justyna. I give you the highest credit of magnitude available for your success, No one can match you. YOU ARE YOUR OWN MASTER AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO KNOW YOU. SENDING MY SUNSHINE AND ADMIRATION FOR SUCH RARE ORIGINALITY. GREAT WORK. KEEP IT UP. I SHALL ALWAYS LOOK UP TO YOU.
